Navigation on measure heading in pivot view

Question

i have a question that,
i want to navigate to another report if i click on column heading of measure.(for ex: region, dollars are the columns and if i select on dollars heading, need to navigate to another report specified.)
My report was developed using pivot view.
i got to know that if the column is measure, i able to navigate on column value instead of column heading & if the view is table view then i able to navigate in both the ways.
But as per my requirements i just need navigate to report by clicking on the measure heading of main report.
Can any body help in doing this.
I appreciate your help.
Thank You.

Your problem is step 2. Don't use the CASE statement. You need to have the Product Types show. This will allow your 4 product types to appear as columns in Pivot Table View with their corresponding measure value. Now, with the Value Interaction set on Navigate (which you indicated you already set up) on the Product Type column, it should work.
One more thing. Normally, when using the Navigate feature, you want to filter on the value you click on. I understand that by using the CASE statement calling the column "Dollars," the Pivot Table automaticallys lumps (sums) the individual product type sales into one number, which is probably what you want to see. If you don't use the "Is Prompted" on the destination report, then you in effect, have the same result as having one column called "Dollars." What you wanted was to click on Dollars and navigate to your destination report. But if you don't put the "Is Prompted" on any column in the destination report, then essentially any product type value you click on will take you to the same report without any further filtering by the product type selected.
Unfortunately, when using the CASE statement and combining the columns, the navigate feature doesn't work in the Pivot Table View. This is not the only feature that works in Table View, but not in Pivot Table View (e.g., conditional formatting based on another column)*.
*There is a work-around for this, though... :)
